Bradley and Peavy? Isn't there a point when it's just wasteful and inefficient? Do you really need to try to win 110 games in the regular season?

 

The idea is to not get swept in the postseason. The more good talent you add, the more likely it is to win - though that's certainly not the only factor.

 

I'm mostly tongue-in-cheek on the "too much" thing, but the odds of any individual player being the difference in a five-game playoff series is almost nil.

 

You're a big fan of regressions. How do we even know the Cubs will get into the playoffs without Peavy and Bradley? DeRosa should regress, Soto could regress, Theriot could regress, Ramirez should have an age related regression, Lee etc. The pen is already worse than last years shaky one, Dempster and Harden you said yourself should regress. Never take making the playoffs for granted.

 

 

I agree who would have thought that the 2004 Cubs would have missed the playoffs? Plus nobody can predict a players health, or what type of fluke injuries could happen. You just have to put the best team possible on the field, especially if you wanna win now. You can't think about 2-3 years down the line, because you never know what will happen. The way I look at it, there's a very good chance Peavy could be a huge bargin in 2011 at 16m, same with Bradley at 8m. I think we gotta keep in mind that the Cubs would be trading one top prospect, who might or might not be a good major leaguer. Were not emptying the farm, were trading one top prospect(who would be 3rd-5th best prospect in most farm systems), and spare parts for one of the best young pitchers in baseball about to enter his prime.

 

You absolutely can, and should, think about 2-3 years down the line. But that should not prevent the Cubs from committing financially to guys like this.

 

 

You can think 2-3 years down the line, but you can't let it stop you from making good moves that make sense.That would be like Hendry scared of trading Choi, because he might be a younger cheap and better player then Derrek Lee. The point I'm trying to make is Vitters isn't a untouchable type prospect at this point, he or Peavy salary shouldn't stop you from making the trade.

Only 9 minutes until Chicago Tribune Live and a wild David Kaplan rumor to lead off the show.

 

what did he say?

 

Nothing of substance.

 

still.... cliffs?

 

Kaplan agreed with Haugh about not making the trade if DeRosa is involved. Cited something Rogers said about "being shocked" if a trade isn't consummated. Bunch of drivel about team chemistry and how signing Bradley and trading DeRosa would "ruin" that.

Jesus those guys are clowns. I love DeRosa, easily my second or third favorite player on the team, but DeRosa isn't a player you don't trade if you can get Jake freakin' Peavy.

 

Love DeRo. But, he ain't Geovany Soto. If someone needs DeRosa to bring Peavy to Chicago, someone hold the door for DeRosa so it doesn't hit him in the butt on his way out.

cilffnotes update plz. preferably by someone i dont have blocked

 

update: people still don't like you

 

more later

More later? I think that pretty well sums it up. It's amazing how a guy who was banned for mocking the site then let back in on probation is allowed to openly mock the rest of the board by bragging how he has most of it on ignore. He should have that probation revoked.

 

Oh, and if he's got the time to add 40 pages of foes, he can take his time and read the damned thread. Everyone else stop giving him summaries.

Take your righteous indignation and try to direct it at people who might care what you think.

I'll follow your example. I'm not the one taking shots at the majority of the board with no provocation.

Which is why I need cliffnotes and updates. There's a lot of hidden posts. Then why are people screaming and harping and gushing over Peavy, when by all accounts, talks at the best, marginally took a step backward today.

 

if you have everybody on ignore, what is the point of even coming here?

 

Don't you get it? The more people you have on your ignore list, the better you are! That's why you have to tell the whole forum how many or who you have on there at least 3 times a week in order to retain your "big man" status.

 

Duh. Get with the program.

Yeah, I personally love DeRo. I would have a nice conversation with him as I doeve him to Philadelphia so we can get Peavy. :thumbsup:
